Terahertz Imagery Progresses

ke4roh writes "Since Slashdot last discussed terahertz imaging, the European Space Agency's Star Tiger project has taken terahertz images of a human hand. Some of the pictures show just how useful the imagery might be for peering through walls and such - one of the images is through a 15mm pad of paper." The EE Times has another story.

    Just a quick note:
    Terahertz means one trillion (10^12) cycles per second.

    Does anybody else feel like this?

    These are in no particular order. Just spewed into this document from my head.....

    What I percieve is wrong with my life (what I would change if I could):
    - Can't party when I want to (drinking, loud music, hanging out with friends, etc.)
    - Can't play on my computers when I want to, and feeling guilty when I do
    - I have little to no control over what happens in the day-to-day events in my life
    - Can't understand why people make simple, stupid mistakes (leaving cabinet doors open, being unable to drive, etc.)
    - Coming home from work every day to a noisy, messy home
    - Despite devoting the better part of my life to work, I never have the money to buy the things that make me happy
    - My daily week life consisting of:
    - Work
    - A 3 hour evening consisting of noise and mess
    - Sleep
    - My weekend life consisting of:
    - Lounging for 2 hours in the morning
    - Some combination of the following three things:
    - Watch the kids while my wife goes outside and works
    - Go outside to work
    - Take a pointless drive to some shopping center to look at things we can't afford, or to buy
    groceries, etc.
    - A three hour evening consisting of noise and mess
    - Sleep
    - Sleeping in the spare bedroom because my kids and wife are hogging all the room in my bed
    - Having to compromise my home's asthetics because I have kids (ie, safety gates all
    over the house, beds lowered to the floor, being unable to sleep in my own bed, etc.)
    - Driving a piece of junk vehicle daily, and when it finally dies only being able to *marginally* afford
    another piece of junk vehicle
    - I don't get paid enough at work for the knowledge that I have

    What I am doing wrong in my life:
    - Not spending time with my family
    - Not appreciating what hard work it is for my wife to stay home with the kids during the day
    - Planning to spend money frivolously
    - Getting angry at a three year old because she's made a mess or angry at a 10 month old because she's crying and
    won't stop until I get up and walk around with her
    - Holding a grudge against my kids because they don't allow me to keep an asthetically pleasing home

    Goals for therapy:
    - Be a happy person in my day to day life
    - The abliity to turn lemons into lemonade, as the saying goes, rather than dwelling on bad situations

    Random thoughts:
    - Not really sure if my relationship with my wife is going to work long-term. I keep fantasizing about other women...
    - I typically have trouble focusing in on things; lots of "clutter" when I try to concentrate (song stuck in head, etc.)
    - I always feel as if everything in my life is temporary and that I'm heading towards a final idealized goal of being
    able to do anything that I like to do because I'll be wealthy, in shape, in charge, and with nothing to hinder me
    - I'm constantly unhappy
    - I rarely follow through on any project, either personal or professional, that I start out on
    - I think about how relaxing it would be to just let go of all responsibilities
    - Sometimes I think that death wouldn't be such a bad thing. NOT THAT I WOULD HARM MYSELF, but if it happened that
    maybe my wife and the kids would be better off, and I'd be done with whatever it is that I'm supposed to be doing
